A+ binoculars, no so much on the compass.

This is my first pair of binoculars! I bought it for field use - 100-300 meter out magnification. My requirements were a rangefinder ruler and a quality product overall.
This pair met my expectations. There was a small issue however. I bought mine from Amazon, and got it at significant discount, but with non-functioning compass. Compass is just a simple swivel thing, but it would be nice to have it work.
As I often look at open terrain through them, I find that 7 is not enough. This is, of course, not a compass defect, but a lesson I got a privilege of learning.
I would prefer to have one focusing nob. There are two - one for each eye. Again, not a defect, just a style of binocular.
Overall this is an excellent pair of binoculars.

I've been using 7x35 binoculars for several years. I found that during the dusky part of the evening when the temperatures cooled down and the birds flocked to my feeders, they were hard to see. So I did some research on a new set of binoculars.
Compared to the 7x35 the light quality is perfect. After focusing the Barska, I centered on my bird bath and actually ducked my head to avoid the water being splashed by the Grackle 40 feet away.
Lets just say, I'm very pleased with this purchase.
